It's been a while since I've had a DW, but I picked up a minty Model 715 in .357 as part of my late brother's collection. This is an early Monson gun with a very low s/n. (0016xx) I must say it's in rather pristine condition, with signs of having been used quite sparingly indeed. I haven't decided if I'm going to hold on to it or not, although it may be too nice to part with. 
Thanks for looking.... RUT

My condolences on your brother. That is a very nice looking 715 I would say its a keeper for sure.

Sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Looks like a nice 715 there - you better hang on to it in remembrance of him. You can't replace that with any amount of money. Tuck it away and cherish it.

Well thanks guys! Being as how it's in such nice shape I do believe I'll hang on to it. In fact, I just had to order another barrel wrench from Eric, as the last one I had went with the last gun I sold. That'll teach me not to hang on to things I just might need in the future!

Sir, I recommend that you keep that gun.
If you were to sell her, you would likely regret it soon thereafter.

Well, it's just gets better! My late brother's wife called me to say she found a bunch of ammo I could pick up, which I did. When I went through it I found a DW box with yet another barrel for the above 715! It was a 6" version in like new condition, complete with shroud etc. I suspect that was the one that originally came on it, only to be replaced by the 4" that it now sports. I've seen what these things are selling for on eBay, so it was an unexpected windfall.
